If sports teams have an impact on corporate relocations how come these don't show up in economic analysis? The intangibles never seem to make their way into the tangibles.

Team owners have for...

I guess I missed that. I'm a New Urbanist so I would probably find that interesting. Can you provide the link again?

Pete, stop editing my comments. If you are going to reply to me use what I said.

You cited Rio as an example of foreign countries using public funds to build Olympic facilites. I posted the IOC...

Someone can like sports and also want the owners to pay for their venue, but lets talk about the intangibles.

I hear people say there is value in seeing the OKC skyline and Scissortail Park on TV...

Yes, 3rd world countries do it but Paris and LA aren't. Brazil also lost $2 billion hosting the Olympics....

Other countries usually don't offer public funding for sports venues. They aren't even doing it for the Olympics anymore, instead just using existing facilities.

My office has brought everyone back to 2 days in office and have been told we are going to 3 days by the end of the year, but that will be it. Fortunately for me I was hired as a permanent 100%...

Is there a criminal investigation? I just read that the AG said if they uncovered any criminal activity in the audit they would prosecute it. Well duh, that is true of almost everything. That is...

According to the City of Denever the All-Star game had almost no impact on the tax collections in the City, and when you compare July 2021 to July 2019 (2020 was a COVID year) Denver actually LOST...

Do you have any actual numbers to back up what you believe, because economists that do have the numbers say none of that is happening.

But think about this, for the All-Star game to generate $100...

First NASCAR race I have enjoyed in atleast 15 years. They should go to full-time street races and leave the ovals behind.

Not sure what Bubba Wallace was doing but whatever he was doing at the...

If interested, here is a Youtubers take on the recent development.

Nope. I fully expect State government to vote against the will of the people. I am happy to see the majority of citizens are finally wise to the scam though.

Btw - the A's have yet to secure...

See, this where you lose me. What corruption? I read the report and it doesn't present any facts related to corruption. It makes accusations and uses language like "special interest" and...

Should there have been limits, absolutely, but what should those limits have been if it were up to you to put the restrictions on it? What do you think a parent should be able to use public funds on...

Yes, but the Feds still only asked for $650,000 back.

Are you wanting arrest the parent that bought a microwave? Does that parent get to keep the microwave or should they box it back up and...

Yes it bothers me, but obviously not to the extent that it is bothering you and others. It bothers me in sense that it is just another federal program run amuck, but where is the news in that? ...

New A's Stadium in Las vegas is a done deal. Not so fast. New lawsuits and public reaction have put it on hold. A poll conducted by the Nevada Legislature found that 87% of the public oppose the...

Okay - read both links and I am going stand by what I have already said. Despite all the hand ringing, only $650,000 is being asked to be returned. The real failure here is giving federal money...

Thanks for the links and I'll read them as soon as I can. I'm not an apologist for anyone but I don't get upset with stuff just because someone told me I should be upset - and it really looks to me...

What exactly are you guys upset about? There were two programs designed to help low income students stay in school. The governor identified 5 private schools that had a high percentage of...

I think it is the opposite - development attracts development.

Question: Are publicly funded stadiums good investments for cities to make?

St. Louis Federal Reserve: No.

No need to buy me lunch. This lot will see parking before it sees a bedroom. You can tell just by the entities involved.

It happens yes. An on-site consultant I worked with out-sourced his job and sat at his desk all day and did work for another company. He got caught because his cheap off-shore 'resource' made a big...
